As Western leaders clash heads with Russia over the escalating Middle Eastern crisis the conversation dominating public discourse once again seems to revolve around everyone but the Syrian people.

American President Donald Trump has recently posted several tweets that outline his concerns about the Amazon business model. The concerns have led to more news concerning Amazon and the parcel delivery company UPS, who, it has been revealed, have been feuding about Amazons use of the United States Postal Service (USPS) for the past few years.
